Clemson's ranking in the updated Coaches Poll after upset-filled week

---

Some upsets and close calls tore through the top-25 of the traditional college football polls this week.

The first one released on Sunday was the USA TODAY Coaches Poll, which has Clemson still at No. 4.

The full top-5 is Alabama (39 first-place votes), Georgia (25), Ohio State (1), Clemson and Michigan. Georgia gained 19 first-place votes and Alabama lost 18.

In their top-10, previous No. 6 Texas A&M fell at home to Appalachian State, No. 8 Baylor lost at BYU and No. 9 Notre Dame lost to Marshall at home and to 0-2 on the season. More top-25 teams to fall included Pitt (previously No. 14), Wisconsin (No. 18), Florida (No. 19) and Texas (No. 22).

In addition to that, Alabama had all it could handle with the road trip to Texas as a near three-touchdown favorite and won on a last-minute drive.

The other ACC teams in the poll are NC State (12), Miami (13), Wake Forest (18) and Pitt (25). Florida State is on the doorstep with the 26th-most votes.
